For time series plotting, Matplotlib provides a list of tick locators to serve as datetime markers:
- MinuteLocator
- HourLocator
- DayLocator
- WeekdayLocator
- MonthLocator
- YearLocator
- RRuleLocator, which allows arbitrary date tick specification
- AutoDateLocator
- MultipleDateLocator
To plot time series, we can also use Pandas to specify the datetime format for data in the x axis.
Time series data can be resampled by aggregation methods such as mean(), sum(), or a custom function.
